Show Variable Product Pricing Table #

If you find it tough to manage the pricing of your variable products (e.g. their variants), it is better to enable the Show Variable Product Pricing Table setting. This option will simplify the process of handling variable product prices.

After enabling this option, visit any variable product in the edit mode.

Click on the Restore this Revision button to use the currently-opened version, or just copy the information you want to add to the latest version from the previous ones (and later paste it on the product page).

To compare any two versions (instead of the newest ones), select the “Compare any two revisions” checkbox and use the two buttons on the slider to choose the versions for comparison.

This option sets the maximum count for the products to return from a JSON product search. For example, if you are adding a “related products” tab or “You might want to buy this” tab on your product page, the value of the JSON Product Search Limit option will be given the preference.
